The global commercial greenhouse market is projected to reach USD 29.64 Billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 8.8% from 2015 to 2020. There have been various factors which have played a major role in driving the commercial greenhouse market across the globe. One of the major drivers is that commercial greenhouses provide higher yield compared to traditional agricultural techniques. Increasing trend of rooftop farming is also an important driver of the market.

Greenhouses are places for growing plants in a controlled environment. Europe has traditionally been at the forefront of implementing advanced techniques in the commercial greenhouse market. Countries such as The Netherlands, Spain, and France have large areas under greenhouse cultivation. The increasing population and demand for food in developing regions such as Asia-Pacific are boosting the growth of this market. The increasing trend of rooftop farming and the rising population are the two major drivers for the market. However, the high cost of commercial greenhouses, especially technologies such as LED grow light and HVAC systems, is a restraint for the commercial greenhouse market.

Temperature is one of the most important parameters for plant photosynthesis. Due to this, a commercial greenhouse needs to be equipped with technologies for maintaining the ideal temperature required for photosynthesis. Thus, heating and cooling systems together constituted nearly 51% of the overall commercial greenhouse market in 2014. However, they are far more superior to the conventional greenhouses or traditional farming in terms of providing the desired light spectrum at all stages of plant growth, are energy-efficient, and offer longer operating life. These features are encouraging growers to adopt LED grow lights.

The analysis is conducted on various market segments derived on the basis of equipment, type, crop type, and geographies. On the basis of equipment, the market is segmented into cooling systems, heating systems, and others. On the basis of type, it is segmented into glass greenhouse & plastic greenhouse. Similarly, on the basis of crop type, the market has been segmented into fruits & vegetables, flowers & ornamentals, nursery crops, and others. The report also includes the key market drivers and inhibitors, along with their impacts provided in detail.

The key market players that dominated the commercial greenhouse market include Richel Greenhouse (France), Argus control systems ltd. (U.S), Certhon (U.S.), Logiqs (The Netherlands), Lumigrow (U.S.). Most key participants have been exploring new regions through agreements & contracts across the globe, to avail a competitive advantage through combined synergies. LumiGrow has emerged as an important player in the commercial greenhouse market. It has managed to increase its customer base through various contracts and partnership agreements. It signed a contract with the University of Nevada to design a greenhouse facility in the U.S. In November 2012, it also acquired XS Smith to strengthen the operations in the North America market.
